Looking for info on a 33 hot rod

[33PLUMCRAZYFFR]

Hi everyone , I am new to this forum, and to FFR cars .... I recently purchased a wrecked FFR 33 HR it came from the Pennsylvania area. kit was built in 09 and serial # is FR51000166HR
The car is purple with ghost flames :-)
I am looking for the person who built the car, to get info on driveline and other things..
If you know who's car this was I would appreciate you having him reach out to me...

Thanks In advanced Tom

According to the owners map (https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&source=embed&ll=42.61779099999999%2C-90.43945300000001&spn=38.827446%2C78.75&z=4&mid=1Vg0HhG_ja16S83I1Spv3vl7DQEY), #166 is:

Harry Teff
Morrison, CO

Unfortunately, I've never found a way to search these forums for chassis numbers - #997 is mine, and I can't find a way to search for that either (and it's in the build thread title). Perhaps someone knows a trick to search for chassis numbers?

Maybe a lead for you. I looked at the 33 Registry thread here: https://thefactoryfiveforum.com/showthread.php?370-33-Owners-Google-Map

If the numbers shown represent the partial serial numbers, then #166 was originally from Colorado or at least entered into the registry by an owner in Colorado.

Thank you for all your help, I believe Harry Teff has passed, ( RIP ) looking for the person that may have bought it from the above add and moved it to the Pennsylvania area..
Again thanks for all your help

I see the VIN quoted on that site too - so would carfax give you more?

[33PLUMCRAZYFFR]

James I believe carfax only works on 17 digit vin #'s
